This has a mix of Pokemon even from the first generation, up to a lot more current generation (there are so many now I've lost track!). I've been a part of Pokemon since the beginning of it, it's what I grew up with. These cards all appear to be the real genuine deal, I didn't detect any fakes in the lot. There was a decent mix, I was pretty happy with what I received. I do want to mention that with lots, there is no exact guarantee that you'll get the same cards as someone else, or even get the same cards if you order it twice. There is the chance though that you do. I've been happy with these, and they go very well with my collection. Something I did not have were the cards such as "poison," when I learned how to play with cards growing up we just had a little piece of paper that wrote if anything was damaged or poisoned (but that's me being old school I guess).

These are some super cute yet effective pacifier clips. I have an issue with babies taking the clips off and liking to chew on the clip part itself, but one chomp of this and that changed their minds. So I'm glad these have metal on the end, it keeps the pacifier clip attached to the clothing and not in the mouth! It's pretty easy to keep the pacifier on the clip too until you want to remove it, which is nice when you have twins and every second counts. The colors are really bright and have withstood several washings (both by me and the babies' mouths).
These look so adorable on my twins! I love how the colors are very bright, and even after washing they didn't fade at all. I wanted to show a picture of each bib in action, they really were quite adorable on my twins. The fit was nice, I have lanky babies so I did it on the tighter setting, but the larger one means these bibs will last for a long time (they even fit big "kids" (ok I may or may not be talking about my dad...)). The boys weren't sure what to think about them at first, and soon after these were first donned it grew to be chow time, but after they had full bellies they loved wearing them. In fact, one even fussed when it was finally taken off.
This is a really cool baby food freezer tray, I have tried several now and I really enjoy using this one. Some of the main differences are:
1. Easier to remove frozen baby food
2. A wider mouth at the top than the bottom for an easier time getting the baby food in
3. A secure top that covers
4. Easier to clean
I wanted to explain what I mean more with those 4 points. It is easier to get bab food out of the tray because the entire tray is silicone, so even when the baby food is frozen is it easily removed by pushing from the bottom up. The wider mouth at the top facilitates pouring baby food into the silicone tray, and with twins who like to tug at my arm when I'm doing this, having a larger target to aim at is definitely nice. Having a wider mouth than the bottom of the tray also assists in getting the baby food out. I was having fun with this first arrived, the lid is very secure, and I definitely did not worry about the lid after messing around with it for a bit. When the bottom was pushed in with the lid on, it stayed put in the same position, only after removing the lid did the tray resume its original shape. Finally, I wanted to talk about the ease of use with cleaning this tray. As mentioned, I have twins, so the less time I have to do dishes the better. After using this, I just let it soak for a bit and then do a quick wash and it's ready to go again as soon as it's dried.

This feels really nice against the skin. I was not expecting it to be as soft as it was, I was expecing a lot coarser hairs (but I am pleasantly happy to be wrong!). The stand is nice and sturdy, and it makes drying a breeze for the brush. Clean-up is super easy to do, the bristles are easy to get clean and the bowl is very easy to clean aswell. This makes for a nice way to shave, I had never tried to use this type of thing before. I had gotten this originally for my husband, but I found that this makes shaving for me easier as well! It's also a lot less messy for me to use this than what I had previously done. The handle fits nicely in my hand, as well as my husband's. Not too big for either of us, and not too small. He agrees that he likes to use this as well, but I really liked it for me.

The artwork is very detailed, I like having this for when I'm away from my electric diffusers (so basically whenever I'm not at home). I keep this underneath my shirt to keep it away from four grabbing hands, but I still get the effects. I like to use lavender and roman chamomile when my life has been hectic and stressed, and this has helped me to keep those scents on me so I'm constantly breathing them in. Maybe I'll try out some of my other oils, but for now, this necklace is rocking at helping me stay calm (even in the midst of planning my twins' first birthday party!). This definitely feels like it can hold up to a lot, it has been unfortunately subjugated to my twins questing fingers and it held up beautifully.
This set is really nice, all of the pieces were present and there were not any obvious issues with any of the pieces. I got this for Christmas gifts (yes, I know it's a little early, but I like to plan ahead). I always do a little gift for everyone that I try to make personal, and this year I am doing aromatic nasal inhalers. These are so easy to use, I had no issues putting oils into this. I tested one just to make sure I could do it at a later date, I didn't want to not know what I was doing come Christmas time. My worries were completely eased though when I found how truly easy this was. The whiteness of these nasal inhalers means I can customize for each family member (and help me remember who's has been done!). I like to use calming oils, such as lavender and roman chamomile, I also put peppermint in to help me relax (I always think of my childhood, ahhh, nostalgia). I also plan on giving a little note on how to refill these with my gift, along with a little 1 mL sample of oil so they can make theirs last for a long period of time.

I had bought a ton of essential oils a while back and I had been wanting to share them for a while. The dilemma was that I didn't have anything small enough to share them with nor did I want to give my entire bottle away. These are really quite nice, they all arrived completely intact, and they're the perfect size for what I need. These are also great for when I'm travelling, I'm the type of person who constantly forgets things "as a reason to come back." The issue with that is I don't come back for a while. This way I don't have to have my big bottle and risk forgetting it, I can use little ones. I love the little 1 mL bottles, I just find them absolutely adorable, and they are the ones that are perfect for samples. The 2 mL bottles are what I plan to use while travelling. These seem to be your standard 1 and 2 mL essential oil bottles, so I found these very easy to use. I definitely recommend using this if you want to try essential oils (or share them!). Plus, the cute factor is just way out there!

This truly is a portable little projector. I was really impressed with how lightweight this projector is. It's small, and compact, which makes it easy to pack in tight spaces if you are wanting to take it somewhere. I like to cast to this with my phone, so that way I don't have to worry about bringing a DVD or Blu-Ray player, I just bring along my Chromecast.
I have not had anything but an enjoyable viewing experience. The picture is pretty clear for the most part. It does appear pixelated if I go from looking at my phone to looking at the screen, for there are clear lines at first. However, after a few seconds of watching, the lines seem to disappear, and the picture looks very smooth. One thing I do want to caution though is watching anything with subtitles, like anime. I noticed when I tried to watch an episode of Naruto that the text was too blurry to make out, and since I like to watch the Japanese version with subtitles, I was not able to follow what was being said since my grasp of Japanese is not high enough yet to watch episodes without the subtitles.
To get the most out of this projector, it really is best to view it in dim to pitch black lighting. Regular lighting washes out the projection until it is barely visible. I am not able to eliminate all other lights besides the projector due to the way my room is laid out, but I still get a pretty good picture. When I take this to the basement however, it looks even better when the room is pitch black. I just like the convenience of being able to watch movies in bed on a large screen.
The first thing I noticed when I started watching, even before I watched the screen, was the crystal clear sound that came from the projector. It can also get incredibly loud, while still retaining the quality. For as small as it is, and the fact that I was expecting to have to hook up speakers to this to get a good sound, I am thoroughly impressed. I would even venture to say that the quality of sound is better than some of the speakers that I could have hooked up to it.
One last thing I want to mention, is that this does not overheat. I played this for a long time, and even at the end, when the credits were rolling, this did not feel like it was going to scorch me. It was a little warm, but it certainly was not as warm as my phone was by the end of it.
Pros:
*Portable
*Lightweight
*Small and compact
*Enjoyable viewing experience
*Clear picture
*Best picture in dim to pitch black lighting
*Crystal clear sound quality
*Does not overheat
Cons:
*Appears pixelated if you look at phone (while casting) then look at screen
*Text is blurry
Overall, as long as you are watching something that does not have subtitles, I would highly recommend this! It's been an amazing projector, and I have loved using it. I did receive this at a full promotional discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
This quadcopter, or drone, flies really well. Even after one test flight, you can see the flight that occurred in it's unedited glory. And yes, I was teasing my husband by repeating myself, but it was all in good fun. Even the cat got involved with the flights! He loves to follow the drone and jump at it. I do want to add, with all the weather and everything else that has been going on, I haven't flown this (nor has my husband) outside, so I can't attest to how this handles wind, but it flies pretty well inside.
Now that you have seen the drone in action, I wanted to show off it's appearance, because I know the quality of the video isn't truly the greatest in the world. Being a quadcopter, it has 4 propellers, and two are labeled A, and two are labeled B. On the underside, two of the arms have red lights, and the other two have blue.
Underneath the propellers, the have a little larger motor than another quadcopter that I own, however, the gears are very large. My smaller quadcopter does not have any gears at all. The gears are there to help increase torque.
I would recommend not using the guards, I had to bend two of them to even keep them from being clipped by the propellers, and they were making my flights really weird, so I removed them. It flies a lot better now.
The feet are kind of flimsy, but they hold the quadcopter quite well. You do have to assemble the quadcopter a bit, with the feet and the guards if you choose to use them. You also have to attach the camera.
The camera is for recording video and taking still pictures only, it is not for first person view while flying. I thought the screen in the controller might mean that I would be able to have first person view, but sadly, it does not.
The controller has a screen on it that displays information about the quadcopter. It shows battery voltage, throttle, signal strength, pan and tilt, as well as several other things. The controls are pretty fluid and easy to manuever. The controller is a lot lighter than one would imagine, it looks like it would be heavy but it is actually really lightweight. There are some buttons to compensate for tilt and spin on the next to the analogue sticks.
I do want to warn you, while flying this, it is incredibly loud. If you couldn't figure that out from my video. You have to factor in though, you have four little motors going, one for each propeller, so it is a little loud. With it's size, it is louder than my first quadcopter I had owned, but I do believe it is proportional (it is after all about 4-5 times bigger!).
Pros:
*Easy to control
*Large gears with each motor to help with torque
*Flies well without guards
*Minimizes chance of damage to drone during shipping due to not arriving fully assembled
*Lightweight controller (easy to carry)
*Camera to capture video and still photos
Cons:
*Feels a little flimsy, but lightweight means it takes less power to fly
*Loud
*Not as good flying with guards

This is so unbelievably easy to install, and to use. I am glad my twins are too young to have the hand dexterity to open and close these, however, usually having something there as a deterrent seems to make the biggest of differences. It has a very sturdy lock, it would take a lot of force to get this to break (or break what it is attached to). They're somewhat stretchy too, so it does leave for a little bit of wiggle room and tugging. I love the fact that you can open either end to get inside whatever you are trying to keep from little prying hands, it makes it nice not having to remember which one actually does the opening and closing. Childproofing was a must with my twins, and this is definitely something I would recommend for people who want to get things out of their baby's reach, especially things like household cleaners, or in my case, hiding the extra toilet paper from the ever destructive and questing fingers.
